Sales Development Representative - Notion

About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About the Role:

We're seeking a motivated Sales Development Representative with an entrepreneurial and building spirit to join our founding sales team! As an early team member, you'll be instrumental in helping define our sales motion, meaningfully shape our future product, and drive business revenue, all while having a blast doing it!

• Hold face-to-face and Zoom meetings with prospective customers to understand their business challenges and goals
• Help build playbooks and define our sales motion
• Hold ownership over pipeline generation tactics and strategic approaches
• Learn about our product inside and out and be able to give demos customized to the needs of different personas
• Collaborate and influence on performance initiatives, product launches, and service innovation when working with cross-functional partners
  • Work with our Global and regional Marketing team to build strong program feedback loops
  • Work with our global GTM team to hit revenue & pipeline generation targets
